Devon Open Studios 2026 Archives

Zoe Buffery Printmaker

I create multi-layered linocuts, inspired by my relationship with the natural world. My work looks at the connection between memory and place, exploring feelings of belonging. I favour the reduction printing process to build up layers of colour, alongside an intricate mark-making style that’s informed by my preliminary sketches studies.

Walking with the Woodsman

I create handcrafted wooden pieces that sit between functional object and sculptural art. Each work is shaped slowly by hand, guided by the natural form and grain of the wood. Rooted in tradition, my practice is inspired by woodland, tools, and a deep respect for material and craft.
